Happy Halloween to everyone.My last sketch of the Big Draw done quickly in my office while waiting on the phone this evening for one of three AT&T guys to help me get a modem set up in my office so I can have DSL there...Didn't happen! Groan.

Sketch depicts what I saw around me today, employees at lunch time in the bakery in costumes as Hippies, and cats, and beauty queens, kids on the street all dressed up, grown ups too, mom's and kids in matching costumes. Teenagers working in the grocery store where I went to buy my candy tonight garbed as gypsies, and witches. No one knocking on my door yet, so we may be eating miniatureButterfingers and Tootsie Pops all week long. Right now I am getting high on Dark Chocolate Peanut M & Ms. Bought those for ME!

The Big Draw was fun. Thanks Lizzi for bringing me into it...and everyone for your Kudos that I hold tight to my heart.

I'll be on the Create Everyday bandwagon! See you there!

These M & M's are really good. I am sure they will help my creative spirit sew tonight! Hobgobblins on the quilt maybe? We shall see!;-)

I can just see it.. A sugar high free style quilt..;-) Your drawing's a hoot. I can't believe this month is gone & we are done with the Big Draw. Can't wait to see what everyone comes up with in Novembers Create art a day.Catch ya there. :-)

Annie, sleep? You were right. I was up around 3 a.m. I am guessing reading a book in bed. Tummy hurt a bit, and no I could not sleep. Won't do that again anytime soon (I hope).

Cris, the quilt got a few more squares done. Not sure it got too psychedelic...just more of the same. I look at this piece and wonder...I am not a "pink type" at all, I am not flowery or "Lady-Like" either. But I sure like what I am making here. It must be tapping into some well hidden part of me, maybe slightly Victorian? A past life maybe? LOL

How interesting about the quilt and what you are not. Sometimes things lay dormant inside us and come out at the least expected times and places. I always decorated rather bla.. or SAFE. until my Mom died & my hubby said, "CANT WE HAVE SOME COLOR?? I FEEL LIKE WE'RE LIVING IN A HOSPITAL".. Well that did it. I just brought my love of Gardening inside with the pinks and florals. Maybe that's what you have done with the quilt.

I found some neon markers at the thrift store and went crazy over using the yellow one! Glad there were a lot of blonds out this week wh...

About Lynn Cohen

I started my blog, formerly called "Getting My Feet Wet" in 2007. Then I was posting mainly art quilts and photos of family happenings. In more recent years I started drawing and in 2014 became a regular student in Sketchbook Skool. My art has grown expeditiously since then. Now you will be following along my day to day happenings, as I chronicle them in art journals with ink, colored pencils, watercolor and most recently, Copic markers, which are alcohol based and blend really well. I hope you enjoy the journey with me.

My Art Journal Where I draw nearly daily. You are invited to follow along.

Remembering Patty 1940-2013

Patty and I were best friends for 73 years! I loved playing with her as a little girl living across the street from each other, and I loved playing with her as adult women. Neither of us had a sense of direction and we had fun getting lost in nearby towns and laughing trying to find the car that we may have walked by who knows how many times! I miss that laughter and that friendship. Patty was also my best art critic (she loved everything I did and had pieces of it hanging in every room of her home) Thank you Patty.
